I’m sure this has been answered in here several times but scrolling through 9000 comments is not very good use of my time. Can anyone tell me the estimated low end impact velocity for good terminal performance with the 77 TMK.

I’ve read through most of it but I don’t have the time to go through it again.

I thought the TMK was down lower than 1800 fps. I thought it was around 1500fps to 1600fps on the low end with consistent upset. @Formidilosus you are the expert, and have more on animal experience, would you please correct me if I am wrong.

I am not an expert. However, while the 77gr TMK has shown to upset below 1,800fps- I would still set that as the lower limit for full upset.

5.56 BH TMK on doe at ~120 yards quartering to. She dropped immediately, flopped a bit, then took off into the woods. Apart from blood where she flopped around, there was zero blood trail until very close to where I found her - roughly 40 yards into the woods. In picture #2, the entry is on the left (but I don't think it's visible - the slit on that side may be from the knife when gutting) and although damage is on the right, there was no exit. No damage to the heart.

Is the blood at the neck body junction, in the first picture the actual impact location?
Tnx
